Making Maker — August 4

We’ve had quite a bit of content and updates put out these past few weeks. The team is enjoying the increased level of activity as we prep for Maker Governance. Here are some highlights of the what’s happened recently:

Events

Steven Becker, Head of Risk, described the potential and impact of Maker in a ‘Developing Markets in Underserved Communities’ panel with the Human Rights Foundation at the enterprise blockchain conferenceDistributed in SF on July 20. He sat alongside the Human Rights Foundation before he moved on to give a talk that overviewed our partnership with Tradeshift.

Ethan Bennett, our Integrations Dev, also delivered one of the most actively attended workshops at DappCon in which he dove into a special session on Maker.js (our javascript library which will be released August 10)
